FULL TITLE - "DC Capitol SWAT Team That Was Ordered NOT To Neutralize Navy Yard Shooter STILL Not Debriefed, And PD Removes Leader Without Explanation"

On Wednesday, BBC News reported the indefensible discovery that the D.C. Capitol Polices SWAT team was ready to neutralize the Navy Yard mass shooting. But, the highly trained and heavily armed, elite tactical group was, instead, ordered to stand down and leave the scene. The Capitol Police promised a full investigation. Today, BBC News reported more disturbing information. No one has talked to the SWAT team members. Not even for the protocol debriefing. But, not only have members of the SWAT team not been contacted, the department has installed a new leader. Without explanation.

BBC News reports,

Members of a Washington DC Swat team who the BBC has learned were ordered not to respond to Mondays Navy Yard shootings have yet to be contacted by the authorities.

The Capitol Police tactical response team was told by a supervisor to leave the scene instead of aiding municipal officers, sources told the BBC.

Meanwhile, the department has installed a new leader of the elite unit. No reason has been given for the decision.

Gunman Aaron Alexis killed 12 people.

The BBC has also learned that four members of the highly trained team have applied for temporary leave, as they grapple with the aftermath of the incident.

The Capitol Police department has not yet granted the request, nor given approval for them to use their own paid time off.

Command shake-up Days after the shooting, none of the officers has been questioned by officials or investigators from a special panel that was convened on Wednesday.

Members of the Containment and Emergency Response Team (Cert) are typically debriefed right away, at the very least the following day after an incident, a Capitol Police source said.

[They] havent even been given the courtesy of a debrief They have not even been given an answer as to why the decision was made that they should not respond, the source added.

Another Capitol Police source close to the incident told the BBC: No-ones talked to these officers since this happened.

This is unreal! Did these bureaucrats take the playbook from Benghazi?

The “Leader” is being briefed on what to say so that the law suit amount will only be in the tens of millions per victim. This is a typical government employee cover-up procedure these days. It will take a subpoena and a closed door hearing to get him to squeal.

“The is NO ACCOUNTABILITY or interest in the
safety of the American people.”

There can be some huge jurisdictional tiffs which are more important to the bureaucrat involved than people’s lives. Each service that shows is loaded with testosterone and starts ordering the others around. There may be little or no cooperation.

I’d say whoever is on the scene first should be the incident commander and all others would automatically subordinate, but I don’t think it happens that way because of the way they’re trained to work. Nobody is going to say their penis is smaller by taking orders.

(It's no coincidence that some "conservatives" echo the hard left.)

which shows that, of the 12 mass shooting incidents involving 12 or more deaths that occurred since 1949, 5 (nearly 42%) occurred under the Mahdi, starting in 2009 and going through 2013. Combine that with the hundreds of people killed with Fast and Furious weapons walked across the border and deliberately supplied to the Mexican drug cartels to kill people and create mayhem to promote destruction of the Second Amendment, and its clear we have a criminal, homicidal regime thats out to promote and facilitate these atrocities so it can destroy the Constitution.

Indeed, IMHO, the NSA data gathering comes into this because it enables the regime to scan social media and chat rooms to find unstable individuals who might be inclined to perpetrate these horrors and develop them into genuine, effective mass murderers.

Why did we have to learn about this through the alert services of the Gateway Pundit blog....who learned about it from the British Broadcasting Company?

There's probably more professional media concentrated in DC than anywhere else on earth....but we're getting most of our inside, investigative news and revelations now from foreign (mostly UK) sources plus some very adept bloggers.

No they have to get their stories straight so it doesnt leak out that Alexis was an Obama administration plant to get all the liberals and mush headed folks up in arms about disarmament because the other shootings just hadn’t been effective enough to get the job done. I’d like to be a fly on the wall in his Communist strategiy planning session. I imagine I’d hear something like “those $&#% Tea Partiy groups and the NRA keep alerting the people about what we’re really trying to get done here. If we can just redefine what an assault weapon is, keep the media focusing on and calling all weapons “assault weapons” and have enough horriic shootings involving children we can probably get the job done. After that Phase II will be no problem and we can remove firearms in public and finally lastly from the homes. After that we can move on to international biometric ID / Operation Beast Mark that we will tell them is to prevent identity theft and use for voter ID (though that won’t matter it’s just for appearance). After that the bionetric ID will be used to track the citizens movements, communications, and purchases which will tied to their IRS tax which will e setup to deduct taxes automatically everytime they are paid in any form. Got that? meeting adjourned.”

Could it be that he (the shooter) just hadden’t done enough damage yet?
Could it be that they (the SWAT team) was from the wrong buncha ‘only ones’?
Maybe they had no AR15’s and they HAD to get those on scene?

So, there seems to be a pattern when this administration is involved in public safety OR in military moves.

Strong, brave Americans,trained to help and fight bullies- are told to stand down and leave. TO NOT stand their ground and fight, but to retreat.

And then mayhem ensues- and the American public is lied to, the strong party of conservatives are demonized, the Media smokes crack and ignores everything... people die, Obama uses it to take some of rights for the sake of the children” and we start all over again. on to the next chaotic made for TV drama.

It’s going to take a full-blown march on Washington to get at the truth, and nobody’s that concerned.
It would take a widespread tax rebellion to repair the government. Not enough people willing to galt their loins and make too little income to pay.
It would take a revolution — oh never mind, nobody’s up for that.

( Get involved. Because you ARE involved.)

This sounds like another false flag similar to Aurora, CO and possibly Sandy Hook. Each event is immediately followed by reports of multiple shooters. Then within a few hours that all dies away and there is one poor schmuck on psychotropic drugs left to take the fall. Multiple shooters (CIA/FBI handlers) never heard about again.

(The only purpose of a pistol is to fight your way back to the rifle you should never have dropped.)

I suggested earlier the coincidence of tactical teams being told to ‘stand down’ at critical times is rather an odd coincidence.

I’d be wary too that we’ve heard this meme of mentally unstable shooters so often...we’re apt to accept that explanation with very little question. The Feds will provide all the proof the public needs to back that up.

And very much while we’re noting this situation, don’t forget that 0bama gave a speech that morning and seemed immensely detached from the morning’s events...odd & why?

"Professional Media" is a euphemism for another very old old old profession.

(Putin has demonstrated just how flexible Bend Over Barry really is.)

The simplest explanation here is the correct one. From high up came the order to stand down because a high number of casualties was desired for political purposes.

-the order to stand down had to come from high up when we consider the area and the unit involved
-yes, this administration is venal and incompetent, but that is not the explanation here. This is cold blooded murder.
-these people are waging a real war on the American people. Wars escalate until they are won by someone. And they do not end until they are won. Thus, we know what is going on, and we know what is coming.

Yeah..Some (not all, by any means) have become Historians...depending on the locale/political situation..like harassing TEA Partyand other freedom-loving organizations..esp. in areas where Muslims are organizing..

You’re a freaking “phonycon liberal”, if you are getting distracted by this junk the shills are pushing to distract conservatives down blind conspiracy alleys. You’ve never been, and probably never will, be able to prove any one of these theories enough to actually get anything accomplished by pursuing them. Then you have the gall to accuse others who won’t join you in fantasyland that they are phony? Give me a break.
